[W]e have a tendency to judge others according to ourselves.

There you are; human nature in action, wrongdoers, blaming everybody but themselves. We are all like that.

it’s human nature to assume that when we see a mistake, it’s due to defects in someone else’s department, knowledge, or character,

I think that's part of the prejudice lens that most human beings are kind of taught to build. Very judgmental. Everyone's really mean to themselves and to others

We tend to reduce everyone else to the limits of our own mental universe and begin privileging our own ethics, morality, sense of duty and even our sense of utility. All religious conflicts arose from this propensity to judge others. If we indeed must judge at all, argued Vivekananda, then it must be `according to his own ideal, and not by that of anyone else'. It was important, therefore, to learn to look at the duty of others through their own eyes and never judge the customs and observances of others through the prism of our own standards.
